Elvis Presley's only child and singer Lisa Marie Presley passed away aged 54 on Thursday.

"Priscilla Presley and the Presley family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Lisa Marie," reads a family statement quoted in a report by Variety.

"They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time."

According to Variety, a US-based news outlet, Presley was taken to the hospital early on Thursday morning after going into cardiac arrest at her Calabasas, California, home, only two days after she and her mother Priscilla Presley attended the Golden Globes.

Paramedics gave her CPR, then they took her to the hospital.

Prior to the arrival of the paramedics, her ex-husband, Danny Keough, who lived with Presley, performed CPR, according to TMZ.

At the Golden Globes on January 10, Lisa Marie and Priscilla Presley witnessed Austin Butler receive the award for best lead actor in a drama for his starring performance in Elvis.

They also went to Elvis pre-Globes celebration on Sunday, where the family celebrated the King of Rock 'n Roll's 88th birthday.

"I am so amazed by this movie, its impact, and what Austin has accomplished. I'm very happy. I'm sure my father would be quite proud as well, Lisa Marie added during the occasion.

Riley Keough, her daughter, has appeared in movies like Zola, The Devil Always and Mad Max: Fury Road.

Lisa Marie Presley, the sole child of one of the most well-known celebrities in history, experienced her parent's divorce when she was five years old, her father's death when she was nine, and a period of drug usage prior to converting to Scientology.

She admitted to Playboy that her mother's boyfriend had inappropriate behaviour against her and was a regular in the media because of her brief marriages to Nicolas Cage and Michael Jackson.
